Leave them on your computer and copy them to 2 devices for safety reasons then. Stop annoying people with your photos please.

Or if they're really there for storage then just keep them hidden. Nobody wants to see them.

My family around the world want to see them as do my friends as they have an interest in my life and I in theirs.

It's a crap way to store photos. The resolution is for sh1t.

Agree on the resolution but neither my camera nor my photography skills are up to much! So for me personally, it works well.

Post what you like, I've no control over that but as long as it's acknowledged that nobody wants to see them. Maybe your best friend or two does, but nobody else gives a crap.

Not true. There was a gorgeous pink, purple and peach sunset the other night. Someone on my profile asked for a photo so I walked out on my deck and took the picture and shared it. Other people took pictures of the sunset from their location and it was passed around from friend to friend. People do give a crap, maybe not on everything you post, but they do like to see new or beautiful things.

Here's such an image:

I am editing to add. This is not my image. It's taken from the www.myballard.com blog. A poster shared it on their facebook page.

And what about someone or something I strongly disagree with?

You have to keep your yap shut about it on facebook. One of many reasons my account is deleted. Facebook is for shiny happy people only. Negativity interferes with the ad placement.

But he was going on anyway in his sermon about going and introducing yourself to a stranger, so everybody in the hall did the meet and greet thing (how I kept a straight face when an Indian guy introduced himself as "Phani"... "Sorry?", "P.H.A.N.I", "Right" :pac:)

Of course India were a British Colony so maybe something was lost in the translation

There's a world of difference between posting a unique photo such as that and bragging where you are via Check-In (don't forget this thread is about that too!) or posting a photo of yourself and what you're eating in some cheap tacky restaurant off the high street of some redundant European capital city.

If somebody had a party where everybody behaved the way they do on facebook, nobody would go to it.

Isn't bragging? Because it's probably what has been a marketing revolution for small businesses. I've gone to plenty hole in the walls where they bring out a killer dish and I've taken a photo and shared with friends. They ask where that is at and I share details. It's like a Yelp Review but on Facebook. I've seen people Check-In as proof that they tried a restaurant a friend encouraged them to try or they checked in while driving cross country as a means of letting friends and family know their progress on a trip. I don't see the harm in wanting to share an awesome experience you are having at that moment. Shouldn't we encourage people to enjoy themselves and share their happiness with their family and 'alleged' friends?

I think a certain type of people are guilty of this and I wish there was a 'Dislike' feature on FB as I'd have no qualms to press it in such circumstances.

Is there anything else on FB you've noticed that would be bizarre if you texted but somehow has become 'normal acceptable behaviour' on FB.

hope your ok hun x x x

Nobody wants to see them??? WOW!!!

Sounds like you:

(A) Had a bad holiday recently
(B) Haven't had a holiday in ages
(C) Are jealous of someone who just had a great holiday and are showing their new snaps.
(D) Need a holiday :cool:

Life without Facebook is quite nice, as you have one less thing to annoy you

Totally agree with this. My hard drive crashed and I bought a new computer. I tried to transfer my documents from the old computer to the new one. Successful for the most part, but I lost all of the photos on the old hard drive. Luckily, I had posted many of them on facebook so I was able to save them from facebook to my new hard drive.

Why begrudge someone for sharing their life on their own page?

Because most people don't give a fcuk about your life.

people need to know what a great time i am having, if i can inspire even one or two of my FB friends to get out and have an equally great time then my job is done

That defeats the purpose of befriending someone on a social networking site. If you truly don't give a damn about someone's life defriend them. The more likely answer is that you are jealous of their life, and by remaining their friend, you can see all of the great things they are doing with their life. You'll be at home seething and bitching about people who post things about their lives on their facebook page.

Are you a priest by any chance? The rainbow and flowers elements of your posts seem awfully naive.

Everytime I've read your posts I imagine a priest talking in that dry caring voice.

Next time you go to add someone, think 'does this person give a **** about my life?'

If the answer is 'no', then don't add them. What's the point?

Women are the dumbest facebook users! We don't want to see crappy pictures of cupcakes or the now mandatory picture of a pool or sea seaside taken looking down your legs.
